Belter Wages.

The reply of Mr.. Edward Atkinson to
some recent inquiries of Senator George,
of Mississippi, concerning the distribu-
tion of wealth, gives such intellectual
encouragement as statistics may afford
of marked improvement in the indus.
trial conditions of our people, and cer-
tainly offers assurance that, while the
rich may be growing richer, the poor are
not becoming poorer. Mr. Atkinson
dates his comparison from 1860, since
which year he finds that, in any given
manufacturing industry the productive
capacity of each operative has increased
from so to 200 per cent. The largest in
crease, that Of 200 per cent, he find in
textile products, the same number of
operatives in a cotton factory, making
coarse fabrics, being able to turn out
double the amount of cloth in less
number of hours and with less arduous
work to-day than they could in the
same factory in 1860. This is due to
the Improvement in machinery, inven.
tions having reduced the capital and in
creased the product, advanced the
wages and reduced the cost of labor.
In illustration of the advance in
wages that has taken place during this
period, Mr.. Atkinson compares the av.
erage earnings OF mechanics in different
trades in some sixty establishments in
1860 and in the years following. Before
the war the yearly average was $46S in
gold. This rose to $7l7 in paper during
the period of initiation aud low currency
values in 1870, but tor the past year, on
a gold basis, the average appears as
$72O, or more than half as much again
as was earned in 1860.
Impressive as these figures may ap-
pear, they are emphasized by a compari-
ron of the purchasing power of earnings
now and fifteen years ago. The aver
ages taken by Mr.. Atkinson show that,
at retail prices, days supply of food,
clothing, boots. shoes and fuel-every-
thing except house rent-cost 81 cents
in 1860. and between 30 and 81 cents in
1886. Reduced to figures, years
earnings in 1860 wonld buy 1872 daily
portions of the necessaries of life, and in
1886, $4,000 portions. Applying the
same method to the earnings of common
laborers, it is shown that the purchasing
power of their wages in 1860 was $50,
and in 1885 it had risen to 1861.
The conclusion is, that the laborer
who has skill and aptitude can now
purchase 80 OF 100 per cent more for
a years work than he could ten years
ago, and a common, unskilled laborer
enjoys 40 to so per cent. greater benefit.
Mr.. Atkinson's figures are not to be
questioned. AS for his conclusions,
they are strictly mathematical, having
no opportunity for rhetoric or for denial
based on individual experience. As an
antid 1te to the somewhat reckless claims
of persons assuming to speak for down
trodden labor, they ought to be effect
tive. Il Boston Post.

BAND OF HOPE.
Interesting Exercises at the
Grand Opera House.

The curtain rose to a very crowded
house at the Grand Opera House Monday
evening, the occasion being the enter
tainment OF the Band of Hope OF the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
The little ones on the stage, 100 in all.
in their pleasantly entertaining manner,
did much to recruit new members for
the Band of Hope. They were thor.
oughly up in their parts and the women
of the Union deserve much credit for
the even manner in which the whole per.
formance was carried through. Neatly
attircd and thoroughly in earnest in
their efforts on behalf of the good cause
the little ones succeeded in pleasing their
parents, friends and admirers. They
were all loudly applauded. The encores
we're not few and the bouquets were
literally showered upon the stage. When
the curtain arose some of the children
were standing while others were sitting
on an insecure scaffolding, which broke
and precipitated the children to the
stage floor. The accident looked serious
at first, but luckily no one was seriously
hurt. The curtain was rung down and
after the debris was removed the pro.
gramme begun.
Master Johnnie Adams, in introduc.
ing his little friends to the audience. ex-
hibited an ease of manner that must
have gone very far toward instilliug con.
fidence in many trembling heart.
The programme included prayer, songs
recitations and dialogues. Among the
most pleasant numbers was vocal solo
by Miss Mabel Fouts, little girl, who
Immediately won the hearts of the en-
tire audience by singing, Jesus Bids us
Shine"
Lack of space prevents full descrip.
tion of the very interesting services.
The programme in full was published in
the HERALD last week, and was carried
out in al admirable manner.

Black Flag.

The talented actor and great eastern
favorite, Mr.. Edwin Thorne, will ap.
pear at the Grand Opera House for three
nights and matinee, commencing Thurs
day, January Goth. in Henry Pettitfs
melodrama, the "Black Flag" Mr..
Thorne has been playing this piece for
the past five years all over the United
States with great success and satisfac.
ton, both to press and public; in fact
there are few pieces on the stage to-day
that have equaled its run. The com.
pany supporting is also spoken of in the
highest terms. They are now playing
an engagement in San Francisco, and we
clip the following from the Call.
The season was opened at the Califor.
MIA Theater by the Edwin Thorne Com.
pany in their we'll known drama "The
Black Flag," to a crowded house. The
play is firmly knitted melodrama. full
of taking proverbs and startling situa-
tons. 1t appeals, in almost every line,
to the sympathy of the audience, and
leaves at its close the attentive listener
quite exhausted. 1t is firm, strong and
stout, with no nonsense to speak OF
about it. There is no moment of rest
to the harrowed.up feelings OF the
spectator. There is a call upon the
finer fiber in every scene as they
pass from forgery to robbery and at
tempted murder, from false accusations
to the incarceration of the innocent;
from the final conviction of the guilty
to the liberation Of the guiltless with
startling velocity. 1t is a play for the
dress circle and the gallery, but it finds
its greatest response and most demon.
straiive admirers among the latter. Since
its former production in this city, 1.-THE
Black Flag" has been condemned and
pulled together with such fine cords as
to improve it very materially, and as
the change becomes known, it will no
doubt prove drawing card. Edwin
